Audio frame timing correction method and wireless device

Abstract

An audio frame timing correction method and a wireless device are provided. A controller generates a reference clock for audio coding / decoding such that the reference clock runs fast and moved forward within an audio data sampling interval with the remaining time becoming a margin of the interval. An audio codec decodes demodulated data based on the reference clock, and codes an audio signal based on the reference clock. A demodulator detects wireless frame deviation and determines an adjustment timing whereat the wireless frame symbol timing and the audio frame timing are corrected based on the deviation and the margin. Upon the adjustment timing, the controller synchronizes audio sampling timing with the wireless frame symbol timing.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an audio frame timing correction method for correcting an audio frame timing in synchronization with a wireless frame timing of a wireless device, and a wireless device, and more particularly, to an audio frame timing correction method which is capable of easily preventing loss of audio data without increasing a circuit scale, and a wireless device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In mobile communications systems, when wireless communications are performed between a base station and a terminal (a mobile station) or between a terminal and another terminal, there is a need to synchronize a wireless frame timing between a transmitting side and a receiving side. For this purpose, if there occurs a deviation in the wireless frame timing, the terminal corrects the wireless frame timing for communications between the base station and the terminal and the receiving side corrects the wireless frame timing for communications between...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an audio frame timing correction method and a wireless device that can adjust the timing of audio data to match the timing of a wireless frame. This helps to prevent delay or missing of audio data and ensures optimal audio quality. The method includes detecting the deviation in the wireless frame and adjusting the timing of the audio frame accordingly. The wireless device includes a controller and a demodulator to perform this correction method and prevent deterioration of audio quality. The technical effects of this invention include improved audio quality and efficiency in the transmission of audio data.

Problems solved by technology

Some audio codec devices may not operate normally or may destroy data in the unit of audio frame even when one reference clock is lost.

Such an audio codec device has a problem of abnormal audio or audio disconnection.

In addition, if there are data in synchronization with the reference clock, the data may be lost in time for the reference clock, which may result in audio disconnection.

However, this may result in increase of a circuit scale, delay of audio data and difficulty in timing adjustment.

However, the conventional audio frame timing correction method and wireless device have problems in that audio data are lost due to shortening of a wireless frame resulting from a deviation of the wireless frame timing from that of a counterpart, which may result in abnormal audio and audio disconnection.

In addition, the conventional audio frame timing correction method and wireless device have another problem of increase in a circuit scale and complicated control of timing adjustment in an audio-encoded / decoded data buffering configuration.
